Coraid EtherDrive SAN HBA Dual 1-GigE PCI-E

Description

EtherDrive dual Gigabit Ethernet Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and software driver enables VMware ESX/ESXi, RedHat, CentOS, Windows, Oracle Solaris, Citrix XenServer, and Linux operating systems to access high performance EtherDrive storage using Ethernet SAN technology. Two RJ45 Ethernet connections provide an aggregate 2-Gigabits of bandwidth using a single low profile PCI-E slot. Using multiple HBAs automatically increases storage access bandwidth and path redundancy.

Highlights

  • EtherDrive® Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) interface x86 servers to Ethernet SAN storage.
  • Available with dual 1 Gigabit or dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet SAN ports and PCI-X or PCI-E host bus interface.
  • HBA status integrated into CORAID’s EtherDrive SAN management system.
  • HBA software drivers are available for all leading operating systems.
  • HBA automatically discovers Ethernet SAN storage LUNs
  • HBA automatically provides network fault tolerance (path failover) without requiring port aggregation or bonding.
  • Driver automatically utilizes all IO paths between the application server and storage LUNs to provide extremely high throughput.


Ethernet SAN

  • Simple Ethernet frames provide high performance without the TCP/IP burden.
  • Does not require special lossless Ethernet switches like FCoE.
  • No Single Point of Failure SAN easily achieved with two switches and redundant EtherDrive storage.
  • Non-routable storage protocol (AoE) provides inherent security.
  • Optional LUN zoning available with standard VLAN technology.
  • Optional MAC address filtering can provide LUN masking


Simple to set up
1. Install one or more EtherDrive HBA cards in your server.
2. Add one or more EtherDrive storage appliances to your Ethernet SAN.
3. Download and install the driver and tools for your platform.
4. Create a RAID LUN and put it online.
5. LUNs automatically appear as local drives and do not require a server reboot.
